Chapter 97: The Storm and the Storm (13)
"No matter what you say, we've been waiting for the military gate for almost an hour, where is the chief officer of my family?"
A military attache riding on a red horse seemed to be a general, the closest to the city gate, and at this time he was also impatient, looking at Lu Zhenfei at the head of the city, and said angrily: "If you don't enter the city again, what is the safety of the marshal, but how can I explain to my brothers?" If I delay any longer, the handsome man will come down angrily and peel my skin, who will I go to shout injustice to? β
"Ben Fu advises you to wait a little longer......"
"Lord Junmen doesn't need to say much, we are about to attack the city, if Lord Futai doesn't retreat, I'm afraid that the jade will be burned, and I can't regret it!"
After delaying for so long, the soldiers outside were afraid that Liu Zeqing would ask for the crime, in fact, the city was in chaos, and they knew it without asking, and everyone was hesitating and watching, in case it was the side of the road army gate that gained power, Liu Zeqing would also die...... In this fucking apocalyptic and chaotic times, who can hang themselves from a tree?
However, the shouts of killing in the city are still there, and they are getting louder and louder, obviously because the town is in power, and it is not a matter for everyone to continue to delay outside the city.
If Lu Zhenfei is in the city, everyone has given enough face, as for the crown prince in the city...... Who knows if it's true or not?
A governor, when everyone quelled the Denglai Rebellion, Kong Youde's thieves played Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, very lightly, and now it is different from the early years...... The governor is no longer in the eyes of the Qiu Ba!
At that moment, the general retreated, and the rest of the generals will be in one place, after a little discussion, the generals waved their hands one after another, and then the banner was displayed, dozens of big drums rumbled, and its sound shook the sky, and more than 10,000 soldiers were also like a group of ants that could not see the edge of the black pressure, and there were siege equipment such as rushing cars and goose carts in the middle, and then there were dozens of ladders, which were also raised from the soles of their feet at this time, erected high, and were about to hug towards the edge of the city.
"Futai-sama ......"
Several generals of Fubiao turned pale with fright, and said one after another: "It's better for me to withdraw from the city as soon as possible, and join His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is appropriate for the camera to break through." β
"!" Lu Zhenfei was furious, with a bang, he had already drawn his sword in his hand, stood on top of the city wall, and shouted angrily: "Are you ignoring the discipline of the imperial court?" Benfu is the governor personally granted by the Son of Heaven, and the flag of Guan Fang and the king's order is in hand, can't you behead you? β
The city is a little weak-hearted, no matter what happens in the city, Lu Zhenfei's governor is a serious court official, but Liu Zeqing is very strict, and his subordinates are killed at every turn, especially the middle and lower-level generals, often precarious, under the fierce flames, the generals remembered that if Liu Zeqing was safe, but he was blocked outside the city by a governor and hundreds of soldiers, it was not unusual for Liu Zeqing to be angry and beheaded everyone...... With this thought, Lu Zhenfei has no clear evidence, how can the army outside the city retreat again because of Lu Zhenfei?
"Be careful!"
After Feng Kaizhang took care of some miscellaneous things, he also caught up with the city, and when he saw a cold arrow shooting at Lu Zhenfei, he had already drawn his sword in his hand, stepped forward to block it, and cut the arrow away.
"Brother Shi, let's go down to the city......" was almost pierced through the chest by an arrow, Lu Zhenfei's face was also pale, looking at Feng Kaizhang, he smiled bitterly in a low voice, and only said: "The prince should be true, please reply to His Royal Highness, just say that the minister has done his best." β
In this way, he naturally wanted to die at the head of the city, but the army outside the city had more than 10,000 people, and he had a lot of combat experience and sufficient siege equipment...... Even if the city of Huai'an is high and steep, there are not enough defenders, and there are no auxiliary measures to defend the city, and in a hurry, I am afraid that after a few drums, the city will be breached.
Feng Kaizhang was trying to persuade, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the color of smoke and dust in the distance, his expression moved, turned his head, and looked behind, but in a few breaths, he seemed to see a lot of flags in the smoke and dust, blue, red and white, which looked very spectacular and gorgeous.
"Lord Futai, look!"
"There's a troop of soldiers and horses, but I don't know which one?"
"Could it be the soldiers and horses sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
All the people in the city are all selected by Lu Zhenfei, and many of them are Huai'an locals, so no matter what, they can't let the city go. It's just that everyone knows that if they really fight, they won't last more than half an hour, and when they see that reinforcements seem to be coming, they are naturally in good spirits.
"Brother Feng?"
Lu Zhenfei also didn't know why, but he was a very smart person, and Zhu Cihong sent him to the city, so he knew that the east gate was very important, so he coerced and lured, and tried his best to persuade him, but after delaying it for so long, now he really saw that there were variables happening, and he immediately looked at Feng Kaizhang with inquiring eyes.
"It was the prince who sent Chen Baishi to Director Gao, and asked this eunuch to come over, so that he could solve the current urgency!"
At this time, of course, Feng Kaizhang didn't have to hide it, and after finishing speaking, the expression on Lu Zhenfei's face was also very rich.
Civil officials and eunuchs were two political groups in the Ming Dynasty, the former was against the imperial power, while the latter was an extension of the imperial power, so no matter what, the two were born to eat dogs.
Speaking of this high director, he is a representative figure of the emperor of the Chongzhen Dynasty who gradually believed in eunuchs rather than civil officials.
In the early years of Chongzhen, the emperor believed in the Donglin Party, the so-called "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty", so all the eunuchs were withdrawn, all the mine and tax supervisors were withdrawn, all the eunuchs who supervised the army were withdrawn, and all the eunuchs who repaired the river and governed the river were also withdrawn.
Of course, the consequences were very bad, which also led to Chongzhen's distrust of civil officials, and the eunuch was a domestic slave, after all, the idea of being useful regained the upper hand.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, all the prisons were withdrawn, and the potential Ningjin supervisors' military salaries were raised alone.
In eight years, all the eunuchs of the prison army were withdrawn, and they did not withdraw in order to raise the hidden soldiers.
In the ninth year, the Qing soldiers entered, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, was the superintendent and went out of Beijing to defend against the enemy, and with Gao Qiqian as the director, Han Zanzhou, the current eunuch of Nanjing, was Gao Qiqian's deputy.
Ten years later, Gao Qiqian became the director, or simply became the governor, and in the seventeenth year, Gao Qiqian and Du Xun were sent to inspect various pass fortresses...... With the ability to be negative one was Chongzhen paid the heavy responsibility of being ninety-nine, this is the sorrow of Chongzhen, but also the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty, but for this dead eunuch, it is extremely beautiful, it can be said that in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the inner servant is respected by Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen in the center, and the outside, it is the most important to raise the potential.
The best thing is that between the ninth and tenth years of Chongzhen, Liu Zeqing's department was promoted by Gao Qiqian, and many generals in Liu's department were promoted by Gao Qiqian, speaking of which, it can be regarded as the old department of this dead eunuch.
Of course, Lu Zhenfei knew the relationship between China and China, and after the expression on his face changed for a while, the cadre in this governor also sighed, but nodded heavily, and said in a very appreciative tone: "No wonder the prince is holding on to the city, it turns out that this one was arranged in advance...... Now it's okay, we can worry about it. β
At this time, the reinforcements are getting closer and closer, and I am afraid that there will be more than 2,000 cavalry troops, with the experience of fleeing from Ningqian all the way to Yangzhou with Gao Qiqian, and he can call and integrate so many soldiers and horses in such a short time, which is also a great ability.
At this time, of course, the Shandong soldiers under the city also found that there was a change in the rear formation, but they had fought for more than ten years, and it was one of the only remaining military groups in the Ming Dynasty.
These things are easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, more than 10,000 people originally lined up a siege team several miles long, and at this time they have to change into a field battle to meet the enemy's formation, and they have to be careful to be attacked by the soldiers and horses on the city from inside and outside...... In short, the chickens and dogs outside the city are walking, and the flag-bearers are dancing to make the flag go crazy...... However, when the high potential department arrived, the Shandong soldiers and horses also put on a superficial and decent battle formation.
It's just that when the whole team was formed, everyone was also surprised, what was the purpose of this new team, and which soldiers and horses, just by recognizing the flag, they couldn't recognize it for a while.
At this moment, there was a row of horses in the opponent's formation, not even a single escort, so he galloped his horse, and after a while, he rushed to the formation of Shandong soldiers and horses.
This person is a high dive, this timid director is full of spirit at this time, he and Chen Mingxia have already spoken thoroughly, the first half of his life is holding the emperor's thigh, and the second half of his life is pointing at the prince, at this moment, An Ran is not selling his life?
As soon as I rode into the battle, I looked at the past, but there were familiar faces under the flag, and now, the fun was really not small.
"Wang Dabang, you are also the president of Qian now?"
"Yo, Xu Daring, your kid is also a guerrilla?"
"Come, you dogs, come and beat Lao Tzu's legs, his mother's thousands of miles away, Lao Tzu's typhoid legs are really deadly!"
Gao Qiqian looked forward to Zixiong, while riding forward, while laughing, when he arrived in the formation, he was also followed by a large ticket of low-level military attachΓ©s, in front of Gao Qiqian, although he was a senior military attache of the Eastern Army, such as a large number of lieutenants and generals, everyone jumped off the horse early, and when they saw Gao Qi sneaking over, they knelt on the ground, and said: "Mark down to the father-in-law to see the courtesy!" β
"When my father-in-law came, our hearts were relieved."
"Please also ask my father-in-law to show the way, now that the marshal is in the city, the situation is unknown, how should we enter and stop, please make it public!"
When he first raised the submarine supervision army, Liu Zeqing's department was under his command, and these military attaches were all used by him, although the eunuch's spleen surname was not good, but he was also a real old boss, at this moment, these generals really had the backbone, and they all came up with ideas.
At this time, Gao Qiqian raised his face again and shouted: "What a bold man, dare to besiege the city? Don't you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the city? β
"Inferior and confused!"
"Hit it!"
The crowd was scared to death by him, and Gao Qiqian stopped shouting: "Zhang Guoguang, a few of you go in with me, and the rest of the people take the soldiers and horses back to the camp, as long as they don't make trouble, it will be a success, and the rest of the people, follow me into the city to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, your handsome behavior, of course, I have to give you an explanation!" β
